    Good point.

    I'm not unblocking ads though, or clicking them if I did - it's the clicks that generates revenue.

    And actually I think the way google ads work is a "hit" is considered clicking on a page that has an ad not actually clicking on the ad itself. Simply clicking on any forum page exposes ads for which google is paid and in turns pays the forum. It's like print media ads, advertisers pay for the space on the page regardless anyone actually reads or follows the ad.

    I wonder does an ad-on like adblock detract from that? On viewing a page, the ad may be initially exposed, count as a "hit", before adblock removes it from the page.
    My understanding is that ad sense pays some just for showing each ad but more if the ads are clicked on. It is also my understanding that with ad block in place there is no payout at all because the ads don't show.

    OK, could be. Read Google's explanation and it wasn't clear at all.

    People who don't like the ads can use adblock (at least in firefox). And consider the contribution feature to help keep the site running.

    Just noticed an ad on my mobile, full site mode. For lawyers.
